District Court.

Minnie Herrley has commenced suit
against her husband, Frederick Herrley,
for divorce. In the bill of complaint she
tells of the cruel and inhuman treatment
she and her infant child received at his
hands, among which are some most re-
voting charges, and how, finally, when
her child was sick unto death, both
mother and child were driven from
home.
A very notable" case commenced in
this court yesterday was that of John Reed
vs.. Joseban l.. Rice and H. f. Weaver.
The action is based on twenty. two notes
each for $50 and all dated November 3,
1881, and the date of payment was Octo.
ber 2, 1882. The only payment alleged
to have been paid was on the first note,
which occurred October 1S, 1888. and the
amount handed over was $57.53,
part principal and interest from
the date the note was made. Hence on
this first paper the sum of s.. % with inter
est from October 1S, 1883, is claimed. As
alleged none of the other notes have been
paid and the total amount claimed is
1850, with interest at 10 per cent from
October 1899.

Malicious Prose secution.
Miss Ella Morgan, who recently had
SO much trouble with the lovelorn
widower. Henry Gross, who caused her
arrest and detention in the police station
for two days, has commenced suit against
him for $4,000, for malicious and un-
warranted prosecution. The case will
come up before the courts OF Greeley
county. of which Gross is . resident. He
is worth $45, 600. but before he will give
Ella any of 1t he will spend goodly sum
in hghting her. As It is understood that
her lawyers are to receive the greater
part of the amount that should be allowed
for damages, it is presumable that she is
actuated more by retaliatory than mer-
cenary motives.

A CHEs1NUT OF The CARS.
David Wallace Gets Thereon simply,
Sticky aud Solidly.

Seven months ago David Wallace, a
sturdy son OF Limerick, came to this
country and chance located him in San
Diego. Cal. There came man IN town
one day looking for some one to attend
the dam OF the San Diego flume some
forty miles away. David was introduced
to him and an engagement was made at
once. The employer was James ROBIN
son and 1t seems that his employe pleased
him because more and more responsible
positions were given and wages corre-
spondingly increased. David Wal
lace earned his monthly stipend
by good, honest labor. and
at the end Of each thirty days there was
money sent to Limerick, Ireland, payable
to Margaret Wallace, a wife who had
most reluctantly agreed to her husbands
trip to the new world" Last week
DAVID thought he would astonish the
and accordingly he procured a railway
ticket to New York and an ocean passage
to Queenstown. Shortly after leaving
Frisco" he met a friend" He was q
friend indeed, and to the open hearted
Limerick man he was a friend sure
enough. The latter was going to the
same city in Ireland as Wallace-in
fact should he not reached his destina-
tion he wished his mother, Mrs. Lam
bert. No. %, Queen street, Limerick. to
know that he had made a grand effort to
scale the Rocky Mountains and slide
along the plains and burrow among the
sands and chassee through the chappa-
rel and get prcked by the cacti and dine
on alkali cooktails-all for the sake of his
mother. David Wallace took all this in
and Mt tho same time the stranger was
taking him in. The latter had NO money
but would have when he got to Chicago.
A very foolish assertion, since it is said
no one has money IN Chicago since the
"boodlers" left. At any rate, when the
party arrived here the stranger happened
to think his trunk had been expressed to
Omaha and he needed $40 to get it out OF
the iron claws of the company. David
Immediately loaned the X. He saw it
and the recipient no more forever. and
became wahderer in strange land
with ticket to New York and across the
big lake and not one cent for tribute to
incidental expenses on the route. Some
kind friends helped him out of his diff.
Guilty, but 1t was noticeable that ward
politicians who would squander twice as
much as the amount required on ballot
boxes treated the unlucky traveller with
laugh;
your money! How did he look?' asked
a reporter.
Faith, sir, he was a foine looking
man. His hands were as phite as
mould candle and the jewelry he had
och mealia murtherr'
did he treat you nicely on the way?"
"Yes, and he did. Shure he made me
throw away my atings, put up at st.
Diego, and go with HIM to the atipg
places We stopped at"
NWhO Oaid for all thiS?b
"Shure and did, but he had no
change. and phwat could do with man
who acted like brother to me?"
This is David Wallaces experience
from Frisco, and there is only one con-
clusion to reach and that is that David
| is not a subscriber to the daily or weekly
papers. o. os

Making Chocolate.

Chocolate" said confectioner,
i" is made from beans that grow in
pods on the cocoa tree. These trees
are numerous in the West Indies, and
it is from there we get our supply.
The beans are brought hither in the
pod and put through regular manu-
featuring process to produce the choco-
late cakes that we use. The first ope-
ration is the breaking of the husks and
separating them from the kernels by a
blast of air. Then the beans are ground
with sugar by revolving granite grind
stones. The stones are heated and
the oil contained in the bean makes
the mass adhere and become thick
paste. This pulp is now partly dried,
and the air bubbles are squeezed out
in press and it is transferred to the
cooling tables. Here it is beaten and
worked by hand to produce an even
texture and fine grain. Then it is
placed in moulds, blast of cold air is
turned on and in few moments the
beautiful glossy tablets are finished.
The British government has recent
lv directed that chocolate be served
two or three times week in their army
and navy. In confectionerythe Parisians
exceed us in the number of prepara-
tions of chocolate. We use it in its
natural flavor only, while they mix
essences and other favors with it, un-
til there is no end of combinations
that they produce. In England much
of the chocolate is adulterated. Some
recent tests, detected -four, starch,
potato, lard, chalk, bran and old sea
biscuit in specimens offered for sale. "

An Oakland snecr.

The Oakland Tribune watches the
San Diego boom as cat does a mouse,
and never loses an opportunity to
sneer at our methods and enterprises.
Its latest amusement is to pounce upon
the scheme to build the institu-
ton of learning inaugurated some
time ago by well-known capitalists of
this city. 1t generously accredits us
with certain originality of method"
as Southern boomsters," but declares
that the idea of establishing 'an in
stitution of learning" here is "absurd, !"
because Of the fact that San Diego is
| in the "most remote corner of the
United States.
If there is anything more absurd
than the basis of the Tribune's argu-
ment, we don't wish to see it. 1t may,
and doubtless does, appear ridiculous
to that journal, that this city is at
tracing the best class of people in the
country, people of brains, culture and
wealth, who find this, above all places,
the most desirable for home that We
have capitalists who are erecting the
largest and most complete seaside
hotel in the world. and that every
| room in the vast caravansary has been
engaged by health and pleasure
seekers who are silly enough
to come to this "most remote corner
of the United States" The Tribune
probably thinks it was crazy freak
that led to the erection. in this city,
of the handsomest business block west
of Chicago, and that the people who
have thronged our streets and crowded
our hotels during the dull season of
the summer, are a little "off," men,
tally. In fact, that San Diego is a
humbug, anyhow. That is the size of
the Tifbune's position but whether it
is the result OF jealousy or an igno-
rance of facts. we do not know. How
ever that may be, we will inform the
political boom paper of the north that
San Diego, by virtue of its matchless
| climate and splendid natural re-
sources, has every reason to expect
to become the seat of great institu-
tions of learning, of art and science,
and the home of culture and wealth.
Furthermore, that the time will soon
come when Oakland will no longer be
entitled to be called the ''Athens of
the Pacific" That title will be ap-
propriated by San Diego, with the diff
ference that it will be called the
"Athens of America" And finally,
we want to bet the Tribune a new hat,
that within five years this infant city
will outstrip Oakland in the race for
wealth and population. AS the boy
puts it, You dassent bet.-[San
Diego Union.
